When "normal" (rod-shaped) bacteria lose control of cell division, their length changes. How can we find "cell shape" mutants in Staph, which is round pretty much no matter what? Does this different shape need different envelope factors? Come find out!

Happy to share our new minireview on peptidoglycan hydrolases out now in current opinion in microbiology! We highlight four vignettes of PG hydrolase regulation and discuss how each integrates multiple layers of control. @MicrobeTweets https://t.co/jTENXLX1wz
So excited to see this one out at @JBacteriology!! In this mini review, I elaborate on the close relationship between the cell wall #peptidoglycan and the plasma membrane in bacteria https://t.co/ieqcqGNnF0
It is @emily_melzer’s and my pleasure to celebrate Dr. Mary Sloan Siegrist (@siegristpalmore) with the “What did we do to deserve this amazing PI” #Award. This distinction recognizes the very best of the best. A thread 👇🏽
My first postdoc paper is online!
